EVE Launcher not indexed by Spotlight

Hey,

the EVE Launcher.app does not have rad permissions for the _spotlight user and thus is not indexed by Spotlight search (and thus cannot be launched via the cmd-space shortcut, for example.)

Would be cool if this could be fixed.

Maybe somebody here knows the terminal command for granting read permission for the _spotlight user to the app?

So apparently you can add read permission for user _spotlight to the file by:

chmod +a 'user:_spotlight allow read' EVE\ Launcher.app/

Thanks for pointing this out (and finding the solution). I'll look into having the launcher do this automatically.
